Tyrrell’s Belford semillon

2015.  ABV. 11.5%

A  fuller, richer, almost honeyed style which is commonly associated with the Belford
vineyard. These rich, dense characters are balanced by a soft, clean acid profile.

Tight acidity with green apple and grapefruit flavours
The grapes were handpicked and sorted in the vineyard. Once arriving at the winery the fruit was very lightly
crushed and pressed with a small percentage of stalks. After a relatively cool fermentation, the wine spent a
minimal time on yeast lees before being bottled early to maintain its freshness. No oak fermentation or maturation.

Description

Tyrrell’s Belford semillon

Single vineyard

The vineyard is dry grown and was planted in 1933. Being the vineyard that is furthest away from the Brokenback range it has the most broken down soil, which is so fine it is almost like talcum powder.

 

THE STORY OF SINGLE VINEYARD RANGE
The same soil, same rainfall and same temperatures of a single vineyard produce a consistency of flavour
throughout the wine. Our Single Vineyard wines are only made in years when nature contrives to produce fruit
of such outstanding quality that our winemakers will set parcels aside to be separately bottled.
Belford is a flat site tucked away down a secluded off-road track, like a secret garden. The vines, planted in 1991
on very fine “talcum powder” like soils, consistently produce wines with intense flavour profiles.
